    TWEKD1, I enjoyed the photos, and did not become nauseous over the wheels. In fact if you're running a modern powertrain, they kinda fit the bill. Whether they are pure-perfect-oldskool-whatever is another issue. I find it hard to believe someone's actually pm'ing you and telling you to get off this forum because of wheel selection. It just can't be this serious, can it ?

    What does one do if the brakes are large enough to make using 15 or 16 inch wheels impossible to mount - now this is just hypothetical - I mean it's not that easy to find suitable steel wheels once the rim diameter has to be increased. I like steel wheels almost more than anything else - don't get me wrong here. Of course it could be argued that big brakes are not traditional.

    I may be forced to use wheels that are not traditional in my project due to entirely technical issues. Those issues may not be justified worth it to change stuff just to get "appropriate" wheels to fit.

    With all the respect to all parties,
    Muki

    It really has nothing to do with being close minded. This just isn't the place for that style. This board caters to a very specific niche in the automtive scene, and unfortunatley we come on this borad so we don't have to look through the millions of cars with modern drive-trains and big wheels in order to find what suits us. While the frame swaps, etc. seem to be accepted here, the big billet wheels are the antithesis of what we're are trying to acomplish. Don't take it personal, if you're building the car you like, then drive it, be proud of it, just find the appropriate forums if your expecting a warm welcome. Right now your like an Electro-Techno-Glowstick-in-hand-Raver walking into a Punk Rock club. Apples and Oranges.

    You obviously aren't getting the idea here and probably should just leave.

    I don't think Hummers or 5.0 mustangs were in American Grafitti, but hey, whatever.

    i think he is just causing trouble...a if u say you lurk and love this site...i think you would have noticed how often other guys who have billet wheels and modern drive trains get chewed out...so dont worry about use it for the tech and if u post again expect a chewing cause its going to happen accept it and move on...

    just my two cents

    if you haven't been able to find it , here ya go......The HAMB is dedicated to spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and kustoms to hoodlums world wide. That’s right – TRADITIONAL. And we aren’t talking Beach Boys and poodle skirts here fellas. If you are into a-side 50’s pop, lawn chairs, ruler contests, and all things that make hot rodding warm and cozy then you might want to find another message board. If you aren’t sure what we mean by “traditional”, then you might think twice as well. If you’ve come here to set a rep, talk some shit, and make some fun then you had better turn around right now. We aren't patient.

    Even if you have come here for all the right reasons, don’t expect posting to be easy. We don’t cater to new fellas unless they show a dedication to spreading this tradition of ours first. We welcome young, old, foreign and all – but our original members and our staff expect a certain level of respect and an effort to keep things true and on topic.

    Maybe you are an old fart with a past. Maybe you are one of the guys that started this tradition we cherrish. We built this place for you and your posts mean the world to us. Hop on and introduce yourself. This is your board.

    Still reading? Then you must be cut out for this, right? We recommend you read some more. Check out all the forums, develop an understanding for how things work around here, learn the “do’s” and “do not’s”… The key to a happy HAMB newbie is to understand the joint BEFORE you begin posting. You want to be happy don’t ya newbie?

    We have very few written rules here on the HAMB and that’s the way we like it, but we won’t hesitate to dump disruptive posters, ego freaks, or shit talkers. We are all here to learn and teach - please keep your other perogatives on the sidelines.


    Rules:
    1. No profanity in subject lines
    2. No political/religious/racial posts
    3. No Porn.
    4. All personal information listed on this board is private and protected. The HAMB does not sell this information and you are not privy to use it for your own reasons. Test us on this one and we will bite.
    5. New Users must fill out thier profiles. Every bit that you can. Simply click on "User Cp" above and get to work.
    6. New users must introduce themselves in the intro forum.


    Guidelines:
    1. If in doubt, don’t post it
    2. Stay on-topic and relevant with your posts… OT posts aren’t generally appreciated by our membership.
    3. Gotta easy question? Try using the search function first.
    4. Your life here would probably be easier if you complete your profile and introduce yourself before jumping into the deep end...

    The car sucks, the bike sucks, the Mustang sucks, the VW sucks and the Hummer really sucks. Take it somewhere else.......nobody here wants to see your billet infested crap wagon.

    Dang Muttley, tell it like it is. :D

    Sucks that so much work is going into muddying up something that is really pretty cool and unusual. Just slam it, put cool paint on it, and do some wide whites. Done. Drop the ghetto shit... it's so damned ugly.

    Must be.

    Save the money on the hyperglowpearlmicaflipflopchromalusion BS paint and buy that poor car some decent wheels and tires, chrome the bumpers, paint it a nice tasteful metallic color, and put the neat '50s Plymouth side trim back on it. And cut a couple of coils for chrissakes! Sheesh.


    At least, that's what I would do. :D
